(NOTE FROM PETA: Ha! He’s just lucky I employed him)

3. What’s your favourite beer that you have brewed?
From Brew Moon in Hawaii it would have to be our German Pilsner, 41 IBU, 5.2% incredible, hoppy and sessionable. From the Oxford Brewing Company it is the Oxford Knight which was a German Schwarztbier and from Burleigh Brewing I can’t go past the Hassle Hop.

4. What’s your favourite beer brewed by others?
With so many amazing beers out there it’s really hard to pick just one! But I do love to drink good, fresh beer from the source, wherever that may be, of various styles.

5. Which beer would you like to brew?
Our next seasonal release, look for it February/March 2015!

6. What name would you really like to give to a beer, and what type of beer would it be?
“Giant Monster Spiders from Outer Space” It would something a bit kooky, evil and inviting.
